Time4Learning.com is an online curriculum that combines 1000+ multimedia lessons, printable worksheets and graded activities for preschool to eighth grade. The math and language arts lessons correlate to state standards. Science, social studies, and art are also provided as a bonus to most grades.

Parents love that the online learning program teaches the lessons, grades the activities, tracks the amount of time spent on activities (for attendance) and keeps reports perfect for portfolio usage.

Kids love the “outside-the-box” approach and the novelty of using the computer for school. The multimedia lessons feel more like video games than standards-based curriculum, making it great for promoting a can-do attitude toward new or difficult concepts.
